Kelly Corrigan Wonders

Kelly continues her deep dive on family life with the help of Anna Quindlen, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer, and Anna Sale, the host of Death, Sex & Money and author of Let's Talk About Hard Things. Together, they read from their own works and riff on how family dynamics shift and change over time as kids become parents, parents become grandparents and everyone (hopefully) grows up. From parsing delicate in-law dynamics to learning what it takes to actually like your spouse to understanding our own motives as we make close calls, Kelly and The Annas break it down.
